American Sign Language (ASL) interpreters will be available on Zoom during the conference. \nThis conference will focus on changes in the health care system precipitated by the COVID pandemic. \nWe will review systems of care for wellness and rehabilitation for people with disabilities and the way in which care providers strategized to meet the needs of individuals they served this past year. \nClinical and classroom teaching was dramatically impacted by social distancing mandates and health and safety concerns.  Presentations will review how educators perceived the new strategies for teaching over the pandemic and what aspects of clinical teaching will be changed forever. \nIn addition\, the influence of telehealth had a major impact on traditional service delivery models. For some fields of health care\, the innovative clinical strategies which evolved will facilitate patients improved access to physical\, behavioral health care and specialist consultant services.  For other disciplines in medicine\, the pandemic had major negative health status outcomes.  Consumers were differently impacted by economic\, social\, geographic and disability related variables. \nThe keynote speaker is Lisa Iezzoni\, MD. Dr. Iezzoni is a professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School and Director of the Mongan Institute for Health Policy at Massachusetts General Hospital. She has spent over three decades conducting research examining health care quality\, delivery systems and policy issues relating to persons with disabilities.
